To be honest, I'm really suffering and not functioning after the celebrations last night, so I'll keep it short!
The last place Wales wanted to open their campaign was in Murrayfield, and there's a real danger the Scots could do a number on the GS Champions. Scotland are a team on the rise, and despite Edinburgh's poor showing in the HEC, Glasgow were a bit of a relevation. They come into this match on the up, and at home they could be a very tough prospect.
Despite this, I think around the park Wales have a bit too much class, but don't expect Scotland to make it easy. I expect Wales to win by less than 7, although I wouldn't be surprised if Scotland shade it either.
Tough to call, but I'll go for Wales by less than a score.0
